Simon Boswell: A Talk on Film Scoring

British musician Simon Boswell is one of the most distinctive genre film soundtrack composers alive. If you’re a fan of film scores, you’re surely familiar with the soulful beauty and resonant power of his work, which melodically drove such landmarks as Alejandro Jodorowsky’s SANTA SANGRE, Dario Argento’s PHENOMENA, Michele Soavi’s STAGE FRIGHT, Danny Boyle’s SHALLOW GRAVE, Alex de la Iglesia’s PERDITA DURANGO, Clive Barker’s LORD OF ILLUSIONS, Lamberto Bava’s DEMONS 2 and every Richard Stanley work, from HARDWARE and DUST DEVIL straight through to L’AUTRE MONDE, the world premiere of which is bringing the great composer to Fantasia this year. Join us as Fangoria Magazine editor/filmmaker/musician Chris Alexander sits down with Simon Boswell for a career-spanning talk about his adventures in film scoring for some of genre cinema’s most individualistic filmmaking talents.
